Where was Venturia before the incident, and where was she during it?

(Man I wish I had Mumble right now...)

Immediately before...
Pretending to be Nyx -maybe-
If so then she might have been killing Aion to keep the reality of her being Venturia from him and to allow him to be able to reincarnate after the incident.
She escapes to the same place where the Caeles are hiding (which is a parallel timeline/dimension/whatever).
...maybe she's being held by her own kind for the "mistake" of making new beings to exist in their galaxy...?

Hmmm...

You know, wouldn't it be interesting if the characters actually managed to break into the Caeles timeline to get answers or assistance?
Better yet, what if they had to break Venturia out to get answers?

Thats what I'm starting to think what Ignis's mission originally should be now: to get answers.
Primarily to questions similar to what I initially aske: "why did they do nothing?"
And Ignis might have to confront her own father on that.

But that still means I need to answer it.

With my possible answers now...
What should stay and what possible could change to make it more...solid?
I feel like that complex explanation to Venturia's motives might work if some of the reasoning is refined.

@Cucoo

So now the question is, what needs to be refined?

Ok let's dissect this for a moment

Perhaps that's what Aion was intending...
But...maybe not what Venturia was...

I think I just answered my own question

And it inadvertently answers another

What if...
Aion's mother... Nyx...
is Venturia?

This means that Venturia chose for a moment to live among her creations.
She saw what she created.
And that could have changed her views.
drastically.

She saw a religion forming with her as its goddess.
She didn't want that. Hence why she choose an alternate identity.

She saw the Prometheos oppressing the Arcains.
She saw the chaos that her own creations, her own children were spreading.

She could have been...dismayed...disgusted...tormented by what she had done.

Then she might have tried to influence things away from where things were going.
Aion.
Probably not her first thought but creating a Prometheos/Caeles hybrid that could command the very essence of time itself would be able to strike awe and fear into the others. With a little maneuvering in the primitive political system the Prometheos had, she put Aion into a seat of power in an attempt to break the Prometheos of their ways so that things might go in a direction Venturia intended.

But then Cicero happened. When she saw Aion adopting the other Prometheos's standards, she decided to help Cicero and Nero reach the GAIA Computer. She decided to influence things to go towards "start over"
Yet, she made a mistake.
Aion broke the "standards" of Prometheos. He was going in the direction she wanted him to. But it was too late. The Phoenix Incident was about to happen and she didn't have enough time to stop it.

She made too many corrections in an attempt to fix one mistake, she accidentally made another.

That would explain what she was doing up to the second Phoenix incident.

But then what...?
Did she decide to let things play out? Did she wait for Aion, her own "child," her own "champion" of what she wanted to accomplish, to finally correct her mistakes?

...something about this doesn't add up...

***


the bolded section seems shaky to me.

The final part we just answered with her being imprisoned.

@Cucoo

What are the teachings and morals of the Caeles? We might find answers there.

Other than that, she might have also hated the Prometheos oppressing the Arcains.

Well the Caeles possibly look down on other beings as inferior (hence Void Project.)
Venturia could have grown to despise it and saw the Prometheos reflecting Caeles virtues.
So when the Prometheos found the GAIA Computer...
She panicked, fearing that they would repeat what the Caeles did..

@Cucoo

So she tried to break that cycle from happening. She tried to take steps to change the Prometheos.

Right
And when the GAIA Computer came into play, she figured if worse came to worse (the Prometheos plan on using the GAIA Computer), she had a reset button called the Phoenix Code.
So when she heard that there were Prometheos planning on tampering with the computer despite her attempts to prevent it through Aion, she set events into motion that would trigger the Phoenix Code.

But at the last second, everything was turning around for the better.
But the revolution was underway and the Phoenix Code was about to be activated. Too late to stop it, she had to do what she had to do to ensure Aion's survival AND ensuring her identity as Venturia remained secret.

Ok it looks like it works after all.
